Re: Need help with Outlook express and newsgroups

Terri Lynne,

You must first setup your netnews server.  It is much the same as a mail 
server, contact your ISP for the information.  In my case the news server is 
"news.comcast.giganews.com".
While you're in OE go to the Tools>Accounts>News menu, this is where all the 
information is to be filled in.
When a successful connection is made to the news server you will be prompted 
to download a current list of all active newsgroups maintained by your 
server, you'll want to do this.  When this is done, scroll down the list of 
folders you have defined in OE until you come to the Netnews folder.  While 
focused on the Netnews folder, execute a control+w and you will be presented 
with a list of the news groups, be prepared, they'll be about 35,000+ 
groups.

Have fun.
